Our Services. . . The choice is yours at Spectrum.

Learning at Spectrum is fun

Our approach is to make learning fun and to be inclusive through drawing upon many different styles of how people learn.  Sitting down with each service user, we agree set goals and regularly review to measure progress.  These goals are specific to each person, with examples being social skills, communication, money skills and cooking.

Practicing Independent Living Skills

A range of learning activities all designed to help increase independence and confidence:

Spectrum has created a ‘mock’ studio flat to develop and practice hands on living skills.

Out in the community

Forming friendships and building confidence and self-esteem in a safe, secure, happy and welcoming environment is important to all at Spectrum. We host a wide variety of regular inclusive, fun and social activities - these include:

Spectrum’s ‘Big Lunches’ are a chance for all to contribute. From shopping for ingredients, preparing and cooking, through to setting tables, serving and clearing away. A daily roll ordering service and hot lunch is available at Berrywood Road and both centres have a tuck shop facility.

Customer Service & Retail Skills

Our new and exciting on-site Charity Shop enterprise allows individuals to take part in practical, hands on activities, where you can experience a real ‘shop’ environment.

You can choose to work in the shop itself or help with the many activities behind the scenes.

These skills and experiences are supported through a variety of additional topics.  View our facebook page
